Ingredients

1.5-2.0 tsp per 8 oz of water, 195°F, 2-4 min.

When using a yixing teapot or a gaiwan, use twice as much tea and steep the same tea leaves 1-2 minutes multiple times until the flavor fades.

When drinking this particular tea, pay attention to when the aftertaste begins. It waits a few seconds after you swallow as if teasing you. Then the flavor blooms to surprise you!

Alishan means "Ali Mountain," and is located in the central region of Taiwan, where high elevation, rich acidic soil, abundant rainfall, and persistent fog create the perfect growing conditions to create the complex flavor components in this tea.
